The feature description says for typical roundabouts. I see it does not work for roundabouts with 5 connected segments. Is that an planned fix, or no intent. I'm only asking to clarify the current limitations so people don't ask. Maybe add a "known limitations" in the original post to prevent the question.

URL of WME beta was changed from https://editor-beta.waze.com/editor to https://beta.waze.com/editor and that broke the script.

I have not been able to make this extension work in Chrome (35.0.1916.153) on Mac OS X 10.9.3. Other non-Chrome-Store scripts, such as Junction Node Fixer, are functional. Roundabout Angles will install just fine, in Developer Mode, and shows as enabled, but it is not to be found in the WME layer menu. This persists through clearing of cache and restarting of Chrome. It does work with no problem in Firefox on the same machine. Any thoughts? Has anyone else been able to use this in Chrome on a Mac?

Edit: And thank you for creating this very useful utility!

I imagine since the purpose of the script would be primarily to adjust a roundabout and make it 'normal', that it is pointless to add functionality for roundabouts with 5+ nodes.

On the other hand, the off label use of having a circle overlay to help move the roundabout could be useful regardless of how many nodes there are.

Edit: It does show the circle overlay with 5+ nodes, just not all the angles. Which is pretty much useless information anyways AFAIK, being that it has no bearing on anything that I know of. So it's not much of a limitation per-sé

It is working fine for me on chrome, installed through tamper monkey.

Great time saving script, thank you!

Correct.

More than 4 nodes,

OR

Any node is not within ±15° of a multiple 90° from the approach node.

*Though there are some some documented roundabouts which don't follow these rules, so there may be other criteria too.

Unfortunately, I cannot do that - opening post has been deleted, and any changes to currently opening post can be performed by its author, or forum moderator.
Arnoniem wrote:A question, I get 2 different layouts on roundabouts. One not showing the angles, the other does. Can you explain?
Seems to be already answered. :)
In short, the primary intent of the script is to help in designing "normal" roundabouts - as explained there:
https://wiki.waze.com/wiki/Roundabouts/ ... structions

All roundabouts that are not eligible to become normal are being drawn using a dark blue circle that goes through the first three nodes, without any attempt to measure the angles - it helps to find the roundabouts on the map, but has nothing in common with a primary intent of the script.
If you reply to this post with what you would want in the opening post, we can then move it there[emoji1]

I did read about the 5 connections but wasn't aware that it was actually 5 nodes and that a split entry/exit wouldn't work.
I guess we'd have to invent a mapcat-bowtie-ish roundabout to fix that. (But that wouldn't work without using the same node or creating an extra segment :D)

Two regular segments connecting to the same roundabout node, is bad for routing. Instead use half a bowtie, with a short extra segment connected to the roundabout.

How about this, what do you think?
The WME Roundabout Angles script can help in designing normal roundabouts.

It draws angles for typical roundabouts and overlays a round helper line to adjust the geometry of a roundabout.
The script provides guidance based on the rules described in the roundabouts wiki page.

The original authorship of the script is by wlodek76, who decided to leave the Waze community (hopefully, not forever...).
The rights for further maintenance of the script has been granted by the original author to FZ69617.

The script is currently hosted at GreasyFork:
https://greasyfork.org/scripts/5400-wme ... out-angles

Brief instructions:
  • Activate the script by enabling the "Roundabout Angles" layer in WME
  • The default is inactive, therefore the script will always be off when you reload WME. It must be activated again each time its needed (after reloading WME).
  • The script will automatically find all roundabouts visible on the map - pan and / or zoom the map, if it doesn't find them.
  • Angles will only be displayed for Normal Roundabouts (four or less nodes). Not normal roundabouts will still display the round helper line in a slightly different color, and a line to the first three nodes, but no angles will be displayed.
